The education you receive from your family is more important than the education you receive from school." To what extent do you agree with this statement and why?

Education

comes from many places, not just formal schooling. People learn from their family, their friends, the television and personal experience among many other ways.

Although

these avenues of learning are certainly important, I believe that

education

within schools is much more important, as it lays the foundations for future achievement and wider success as I shall show.

Firstly

, formal qualifications which are earned at

school

are often the entry points to certain careers and jobs. In order to be a lawyer or doctor, you need to do well at

school

so you can go on to study for professional qualifications.

Additionally

, many jobs ask for basic qualifications in maths and English when you apply. Without these qualifications, an individual could become limited in what they can do with their professional lives.

In addition

prepares you for relationships outside your family, which is an important aspect of life.

School

is a good socialisation tool because a student needs to deal with relationships on many different levels,

goals from their parents.

However

, children can succeed without a favourable family setting to a certain extent. It is doubtful whether they could succeed without schooling. In conclusion,

although

there are many beneficial forms of

education

, I believe schooling is more important than

education

within the family.

This

is because formal

education

gives you qualifications and socialisation that the family cannot offer.
